Are you coming? Am I invisible or are you refusing to see me? What is the matter with you? Are you doubting I am human? Is my complexion obscuring your vision? You see everything around me. What is wrong with your eyes? Wait, wait! watch your steps. I can’t breathe, when you kneel on my neck to show your eminence. I can’t breathe, when you step on my God-given dignity, Blocking the winds of freedom, knowledge and self-awareness. Enough, today I rise! What do you think I am going to do to you? Are you afraid that I might hurt you? That is not befitting of a seeker of peace and justice. I am on my way to equity and liberty. Are you coming?
